Just a thought...

Last night we took the kids to the lake for biking and fishing.

when in pulled these huge trucks pulling these huge motor homes...

Phil and I were sitting there talking

and he thought it would be nice someday

to do that with the kids camping.

and this is my idea no traveling home

but having a little cabin on a lake...

a few of my favorite things for in my cabin on a lake

an old sink a must.


a cute fridge.

and a Aga stove

I love these...

and by the time Phil and I can afford

the house on the lake

this will be us!

Special things..

This morning while changing my bed linens....

I still love these Anthropologie pillows
Mimi made her bed ,she did it all by herself !
What a little helper I have.
I was so proud of her.



then she came and helped me
I don't know why duvet covers have to be such a pain in the butt!



I framed these a long time ago 12 yrs to be exact.

This is my Grandpa and Grandma Andersen's

wedding certificate from September 27, 1916

this is my Grandma Bredesen
confirmation certificate with her picture.

I love the details!

Its all written in Swedish

I love the Bible verse.

So beautiful

Now our certificates are so blah,

unlike the art work so long ago.

A brainstorm

I love this 60's housecoat

don't you love the table runner....

too funny.

I have these great old rolls of wallpaper
which I love and have done nothing with,

so 2days ago I had an Idea and I executed it

and I'm not sure it came out the way I planned

oh well I can always redo it...

I was going for an eclectic look

a little random/messy

One yellow dress did not fit

I think it looks great on my mannequin....

A sweet pink seat

Here is one of my favorite re-do
My pictures are a little out of order.

I love these old decals

before the saw down size.

Super perfect for a Queen in training!

Its official I'm In the PTA as treasurer,

remember the movie Harper Valley

Yesterday when the Principal told me ,

I had that song going in my head.

Barbra Eden

was such a tart in that movie.

Loved her.

Thank God I don't have to balance anything

just be a body sitting behind the numbers....

even I can do that!

A few finds....

Have you ever found something hid away.

I discovered these up in my room at the lodge and quickly brought

them home and paired them with sheers in

the living room.

We have so much daylight its so hard to get to bed at night.

especially the kids

these were given to me and with Jeremy's

confirmation this Sunday along with his niece Lili.

I think I will wear the yellow on the far right.

they will be so cute this summer with jeans.

I found all these glasses

and I didn't need them all but when I finally

have a party again.

I'll be ready!

these were my favorite.

this is my before shot of the store,
before flowers that is....

a redo this shelf was a horrid dark brown
I think green is so fresh.

I painted this cute nightstand

my parents gave it to me

I think it will be so cute in a little boys room.

this was my first dumpster diving....

I always thought I would never do that,

until last fall this I had to rescue!

I have always wanted one and the chipped paint just adds

to it's charm.

so it's official I can dive in if the treasures right!

Happy Mother's Day!

Look what I found yesterday for $10

last year the kids and I were determined to find our

family bikes and we still needed one more

and we found it.

In the store I have this cute wicker basket for a bike

with hand painted flowers. I just found a home for it.

I love the fenders!

I have had a busy four days painting, and digging things out.

but in the evenings we have been going to the Lake with the kids.

this little guy kept jumping from tree to tree over our heads...

Mimi had her last game yesterday.

here she is with her best buddy!

My kids have always done this,

I just look at the water and freeze!

This night Mimi fell in the lake.

a rare picture of Jeremy he hates his picture taken

I wonder who he takes after.

this night they caught alot of fish and

released them.

one they fed to a hungry eagle.

of course I missed it.

Here Mimi is all dolled up

and ready to take me to her Mothers day tea at school!

they were so cute.

tomorrow all my re-do's.

Have a lovely day with your family's!
